Keith Olbermann: The Once and Future Asshat

 

Instapundit: Keith Olbermann calls Van Jones an asshole and wants him fired from CNN

Keith Olberman has been an asshole for a long time--Keith keep being you!

Be careful, if he dislikes what you say, Keith will crap on you!

Jemele Hill and ESPN, Co-Dependent Fails

Hot Air: ESPN Anchor Jemele Hill in hot water over call for advertising boycott

Jemele Hill must really want to push the envelope. Being an anchor is a very decent gig, why blow that by tweeting out stuff like this? It is not the role of a news anchor, let alone a sports anchor, to opine like this to the detriment of your employer's advertisers and the NFL. Especially not when ESPN is facing financial challenges right now.  

Who does she think she is, Keith Olbermann? I am surprised this did not result in her getting fired.   

WFB: Trump on Jemele Hill: ESPN ratings have tanked

Why hasn't Twitter banned Keith Olbermann?

Beyond Twitter, why haven't they taken Keith Olbermann away for testing and observation?

Compare and contrast: Muhammed Ali vs. Joe Frazier trilogy compared to Keith "The Olbermann Broadcast Empire" Olbermann vs. Al ManBearPig Gore

Arguably the great series of fights ever.

Could we get a repeat with the epic battle that is brewing between Keith "The Olbermann Broadcast Empire" Olbermann vs. Al "ManBearPig" Gore?  

Well, no.  But it will still be strangely compelling to watch.

Oh my:  Internal emails obtained byMediaite paint the picture of a temperamental star that has been the subject of rumors for years. One of the emails reveals that Olbermann, in a fit of rage, threw a glass mug that shattered all over the set, causing the building’s owner to complain. Sources say the entire incident was captured on video.

There is a simple answer:  Love will find a way.
Al Gore's claim of drowning polar bears:  Probably made up nonsense.  The researcher Al Gore relied upon was suspended.  The only real meltdowns are Al Gore's temper tantrums in response to questions on his data.
Here is more from Wizbang:  Yes it is true, polar bears hate Al Gore.
Time Warner does not care for Al Gore:  Looks like Al Gore's little Current cable ice flow is about to melt underneath him.  More from Breitbart on the fall of the House of Gore.


Update:  How dare you, Sir!  Keith Olberman files a lawsuit against Al Gore (does not involve polar bears, but I am sure things are rather chilly between Messrs Olbermann and Gore!
Keith sues Al for $50 million dollars!
Instapundit and Althouse:  Olbermann alleges it was an embarrassment to work for Gore (oh my, it is getting very nippy now!)  If they could only get this feud as a show, they would definitely have ratings!

Lock-Out? Keith Olbermann Says He's Been Informed He Won't Be On Tonight
—Ace
The proper conjugation is: snit, snitted, had snat. Or, en Deutsche, haben geschnitten.
Now why would he have announced he was on his way to his office earlier, if he had an inkling that he wouldn't be permitted on air?
My guess (just a guess) is that it's a legal maneuver, an attempt to show that, despite whatever draaaamaa his previous snittings caused, he was now ready to work as scheduled, and was only being barred by a management which is Legally At Fault and In Breach of Contract.
Or else he's just griefing and creating more drama.
Honestly I don't know.
What I do know is that Keith Olbermann has more draaamaaa and moments of truth than the new reality series about women's biological cycles I'm pitching to Lifetime, called Menses Frenzies.
